Table - best surf conditions forecast for Jones Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Jones Beach is a tough one. The whole stretch is looking pretty flat and messy, without a single day that could be called a proper surf session. We’re talking about a long, dry run of poor surf conditions from the start all the way through to the end of the forecast period.
The water temperature is sitting at 75°F which is a notable 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s much warmer than normal for a dip.
The first few days, from Thursday the 9th right through to the start of the second week, are all about tiny, weak waves. The swell height barely gets above 2ft, with periods as short as 4 seconds – that’s pure wind chop, not groundswell. The combined energy is totally weak, reading 50 or less (50). Winds are often onshore or cross-shore, making a mess of things. There’s nothing to get excited about.
We get a little flicker of hope on Saturday the 18th. The afternoon shows a jump to 5ft swell from the south with a 7-second period, and the combined energy hits 208 (208) – that’s a moderate pulse. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the WNW at 12 mph, which is a decent setup. But even then, the forecast calls it “marginal” at best. It’s the only spot in the whole run that might offer a few closeouts for a patient surfer, but it’s not a recommendation.
The following week from the 22nd to the 24th sees a bit more energy, with swell heights around 4ft from the east-southeast and periods of 6-7 seconds. The combined energy gets up to a moderate 254 (254) on the 23rd, but the winds are cross-onshore and onshore, making it choppy and poor. The earlier day on the 22nd has cleaner cross-offshore winds, but it’s still a very weak, short-period swell.
For a beginner-friendly break like Jones Beach, anything over 5ft is too big, so we’re safe on that front, but the waves are just too small and wind-affected to be any fun. It’s a long, dry spell. Blank runs like this are more normal for the area when the conditions line up wrong.
Rusty.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Jones Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
